Week 13 - Jan 27 to Feb 2

[nwhoopfan]

Vandy won 99-86. Blakes finished w/ 53. 16-24 FG 5-9 from 3 16-18 FTs.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oklahoma making a run.

Were they better last year? Or is the SEC just that much tougher than the Big 12? If they lose, they'll drop to 4-4 in conference. They went 15-3 last season.

NCAa freshman record for Blakes. Passing Juju

I have a feeling that game is gonna run waaaaaay past its TV window.

920 and it ain’t over.

LSU gagging

 

[bballnut90]

1 point game in Baton Rogue, both teams crack the century mark.

 

[Vowelguy]

LSUs defense baaaaaaaaaaaad

 

[Baller29]

Kentucky gonna beat Bama. Cats are 7-1 in SEC.

Meanwhile turn back to see LSU crushing Oklahoma. I guess the critics were right -- LSU isnt very good, eh?

They aren’t. They choked a 24 point lead while Mrs Flaujae ball Hog Johnson has turns it over 8 times

They getting bounced early in the tournament

 

[Vowelguy]

Tigers hang on 107-100

 

[nwhoopfan]

LSUs defense baaaaaaaaaaaad

I would say that applies to both teams. I honestly cannot remember ever seeing a game with both teams reaching 100 points in regulation.

Large part of that is horrible officiating all around

53 personal fouls
2 team technical fouls
1 intentional foul
2 ejections

42 turnovers

NCAa freshman record for Blakes. Passing Juju

I don't think any of the freshmen this year are getting the kind of hype that Juju and Hidalgo did last year, but there are a bunch of them that are making a big impact.

 

[GoChips20]

Aside from being a bit shorthanded inside, there is no reason for LSU’s defense to be this bad. Their athleticism is off the charts and Mulkey was known as an excellent defensive coach at Baylor.

Oklahoma lives and dies by their O, always has.

Last year they won the Big 12 but had most dominos fall correctly for them: they played Texas right after Harmon went out with the ACL, Kansas State right after Lee went out, and were the beneficiary of a controversial ending vs. Texas to close the regular season. They also were awful in non-conference. This year with Beers, I think they're better.


Big 12 overall was weaker and SEC came in and stole their top teams, adding to an already strong conference. OU's only bad loss so far is Mississippi State, with the other 3 losses being to Texas/South Carolina/LSU. The back half of their SEC schedule is much more favorable, but defensively this is their third game giving up 100+ points which is a big cause for concern. I think they should win all but 1 or 2 the rest of the way, but we'll see what happens.

Great shot making down the stretch by both teams

There isn't enough talk about how good these freshmen are--this class could rival last year's. Sarah Strong, Joyce Edwards, Mikayla Blakes, Olivia Olson, Jaloni Cambridge, Syla Swords and many others are having monster freshman seasons and aren't getting spoken about enough. Even today, for Florida their freshman Liv McGill put up 20 points, 4 assists and 3 steals against ranked Vanderbilt but that wont garner any attention after Blakes exploded for 53.

Also an SEC WBB record for all players, right?

Look at their players. They only wanna jack up shots and not put in effort on defense. Been evident for a while now

 

[PhilipVU94]

1 point game in Baton Rogue...

Especially tonight, I wonder if that's an intentional pun or not?

 

[WBBTakeover]

53 points on 67% shooting is INSANE! I'll need to watch that game.

 

[Vowelguy]

With Beers I thought OU had the talent to finish 3rd. That definitely ain’t happening. They might not even be 5th.

Britt Prince and Delaney Gibb are two more I would mention.

Arkansas won tonight! Handily too, 72-51 over Texas A&M. And I thought the Aggies had been gaining a bit of momentum lately.

 

[triaddukefan]

State gave up 83 points to Wake Forest tonight. I know it's a throw out the record book game, but thats the most points Wake has scored all season. The Pack better tighten up their defense or else.

Arkansas won tonight! Handily too, 72-51 over Texas A&M. And I thought the Aggies had been gaining a bit of momentum lately.

They lost their leading scorer the other day. Out for the season.

 

[TheFarmFan]

A few minutes later, Peck with the (unsurprising) poor choice of words, "LSU came out swinging."

Was that a poor choice? Feels quite on the nose!
